THE CAPE COD PUPPET GAM
Whalers who met on the high seas held a gam
to tell their lively tales. This summer, watch as three imaginative puppet
companies tell their adventurous tales at the Cape Cod Puppet Gam, held on five
Tuesday afternoons in Falmouth.
The shows will be presented at 4pm at John
Wesley United Methodist Church, Gifford Street & Jones Road, from July 8
to August 5 and are best for ages 3 and up.
Tickets will be sold for $8 at the door.
The “Cape Cod Puppet Gam” series is produced
by Falmouth's own “Dream Tale Puppets, " a troupe founded by Jacek
Zuzanski in 2003. The ensemble relishes the chance to share the adventure of
wandering through lands of enchantment, mystery, humor and joy with Cape
audiences. For more information, please see www.dreamtalepuppets.org.
The "Cape Cod Puppet Gam" is
presented with the generous support of John Wesley United Methodist Church, the
Cape Cod Children's Museum, and friends of Dream Tale Puppets. Also, the series
is supported in part by a grant from Falmouth Cultural Council, a local agency
which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.
